His siblings Bert (Sharon), Linda (Vic), Bob, and Connie (Garvin), many nieces, nephews and their families,
Harve was a man of few words, though he made them count. He was kind, thoughtful and loved to share a laugh. He was happy to lend you a hand, or a tool, or an ear. He always kept busy with wood working projects, like building chairs for around the fire, raised garden beds for his tomatoes or cabins in the woods. He enjoyed his peace and quiet, but he always appreciated a visit from his family and friends.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the medical staff at Carman Memorial Hospital for their kind, compassionate care, as well as to the team at Boundary Trails Cancer Care for their support throughout his journey.
At his request, no formal funeral arrangements will be made.
